Open lecture "Government ethics and corruption: why students should be engaged" by Paul Solis

We would like to invite you to an open lecture "Government ethics and corruption: why students should be engaged" this Thursday, October 24, at 12:05, room 220. 

Brief description of the lecture:

"It may seem that unethical and corrupt behavior by public officials is everywhere. It is sometimes obvious and open to all, yet nothing changes. In this discussion led by Paul Solis, a visiting professor from the United States working on anti-corruption issues in his own government, we will explore why the same problems exist in all nations, and why citizens, especially young people, should pay close attention to the actions taken by their public officials."
